lyrics

I wish I was a robot
I wish that I could fly
Made out of titanium
So I could never die

Wish I was superhuman
With the X-Ray eyes
So I could read people
Maybe just their minds
but what I really wish...

I wish I was a spaceman
Out among the stars
Playing in the nebula
Dancing through quasars

I wish I was a zombie
Wish I felt no pain
A stinking mass of rotting flesh
trying to eat your brain
but what I really wish...

Dreams are for dreamers, friend, and that's what I am
I'll keep on dreaming, that is my plan
I know nothing will come of it, I know it's all for naught
but if I have to live on this rock, I'll keep my mind off

I'm wishing all my wishes could come true
I'm wishing that I could be just like you
If only you could be just like me to
Well then I guess we could wish away these wicked blues

Somehow, it worked. Well.

tGDM believed that massive amplification was ALWAYS the answer. ... more
